Following the success of Rees's best-selling Auschwitz, this substantially revised and updated edition of The Nazis - A Warning from History tells the powerfully gripping story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich.

During a 16-year period, acclaimed author and documentary-maker Laurence Rees met and interviewed a large number of former Nazis, and his unique insights into the Nazi psyche and World War II received enormous praise.

At the heart of the book lie compelling eyewitness accounts of life under Adolf Hitler, spoken through the words of those who experienced the Nazi regime at every level of society. An extensive new section on the Nazi/Soviet war (previously published in Rees' War of the Century) provides a chilling insight into Nazi mentality during the most bloody conflict in history.

Described as one of the greatest documentary series of all times The Nazis - A Warning from History won a host of awards, including a BAFTA and an International Documentary Award.

Superb. This is simply one of the best books I've ever "read" on the Nazis.

A book that really presents how the Nazis came to power and what can happen when an entire nation finds a new God. An excellent study of both Hitler. and Stalin and the dangers of the personality cult. Superbly detailed and a grand presentation. Everybody should read or listen. unfortunately too few will.

I’ve listened to many books about the Nazi regime, so not surprised by this one. Did not bring nothing really new, but it was well done.

More understanding

The very best account of nazi germany I know. Meticulously researched and explained. Outstanding reading performance as well. Highly recommend.

Terrifying and addicting

Winners are never questioned, while the defeated shouldn’t be anywhere to be interrogated and slandered. Winners and losers are for all intent and purpose, the same just the other. Don’t condemn another without wearing his shoes.

Pure unadulterated BS.

As a student of history and a person who is intrigued by the idea of the “cult of personality” I chose this book to dive again into the events and choices that saw rise of the fascists in Germany during the 1930’s.
The result of reading this book is that I can see now, more than ever, how diabolic key figures in the Nazi party were able to enact their will and enforce a reign of terror that was perpetrated against both the Jews and other perceived enemies of the Aryan way of life.
If you are looking to continue your education of this period or are a person diving for the first time into this terrible subject, this book will serve you well. I pray that everyone has a chance to read this at some early point in their life, because to forget or down play the horror of the Nazi regime is to repeat it.

A terrible tale that is masterfully related…

The book reveals all aspects of the Nazis in a riveting account. I found much new information there. It is well worth reading.
